/**
 * <p><a href="http://capnproto.googlecode.com">Captain Proto</a> is an RPC
 * protocol based on <a href="http://protobuf.googlecode.com">Protocol
 * Buffers</a> and which implements
 * <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security">Capability-based
 * security</a>.
 *
 * <p>Captain Proto leverages the service definition format provided by Protocol
 * Buffers.  Please familiarize yourself with the
 * <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/proto.html#services">language
 * documentation</a> and
 * <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/reference/java-generated.html#service">Java
 * generated code</a> provided by Protocol Buffers before attempting to
 * understand the Captain Proto Java API.
 *
 * <p>Using Captain Proto involves the following steps:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Client and server establish a network connection through normal means.
 *   <li>Each side creates a {@link capnproto.Connection} wrapping their end
 *       of the stream.
 *   <li>Each side optionally exports a "default service" on their connection,
 *       and receives the other side's default service from the connection.
 *   <li>Each side starts their connection's event loop.
 *   <li>One or both sides makes calls to the other's default service.  Calls
 *       must use {@link capnproto.RpcContext} as their RPC controller
 *       type.  The controller can be used to embed service references within
 *       request and responses.
 *   <li>???
 *   <li>Profit!
 * </ul>
